Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I've been avoiding the forums since my injury. I get angry when I see all you d*cks having fun and I can't play.
Damn, I had no idea what's going on. I also avoid the forums when I'm sick or injured.

Here's to a quick and complete recovery!

Today I received my JJ jersey. Was really unsure of what size to order. I despise really tight jerseys that look and feel like a second skin. I opted for XL over L in hopes that it wouldn't be too big, and I made a good choice. Slightly too large but that is so much better than too tight. Still working on getting this body trimmed up. Legs are looking great. Middle part, ehhhhh.

I don't have a favorite cheap ****ty beer. Cheap ****ty beer is for drinking games, not enjoying.

It won't even make you drunk really. Might as well drink water

i guess i'll re-tract my previous statement, but anything under 5% won't really make me drunk unless I'm repeatedly pounding beers

cheap beer is so college (drinking games)

...or hipster,

...or actual poor person.

I don't have the most spending money in the world (lots of xpenses), but make lifestyle adjustments so that I can afford to drink good beer

Hamms 4.75, Olympia 5.49, Rainier 6.49. I can't afford that kind of lifestyle.

I was going by draft prices at the bars. Coincidentally, almost every draft beer outside of LA seems really cheap to me now.

I don't drink beer. I will be having warm bourbon/apple cider beverages today while my friends and I tailgate for the Red Bulls playoff match.

I guess I'm still a teenager because I've drunk just about everything at this point and my favorite beer is still Miller High Life.

To me, the majority of "craft beer" in this city tastes like cat piss smells.

My legs are killing me. Went hiking/training on a local hill that I use to track my fitness, and for some stupid reason decided to go for a personal best. Got it! And, now I am paying for it. So, going for an easy hike with the wife, because that is what makes sense....

Amen, I am so sick of this entire "craft beer" gimmick. I like my beer to taste like beer. I want it to be cheap and cold.
